9>9 Personal answerDepends. Ordinarily, I would say, no. But in some cases, yes. Suppose we had another 9/11. Suppose we knew the 18 hijackers were making their way toward the respective airports and we could intervene. Would we sanction their assassinations? Given what we know about the events that transpired following those horrendous attacks, I would say, absolutely. But, hindsight is 20/20. |
Foreign Policy › NATO
9>9 Personal answerYes, and refusing to defend other NATO countries sets a dangerous precedent for the balance of global power |
the Economy › Domestic Jobs
9>9 Personal answerNo, but drastically increase taxes and import tariffs on outsourcing businesses |
the Economy › NAFTA
9>9 Personal answerYes, but with a much more egalitarian approach. Displaced Mexican farmers, for instance, are struggling to feed their families because American companies (Monsanto) monopolized and corporatized their production of produce. We wouldn't have anywhere near the immigration issues we have if it hadn't been for the exploitation of NAFTA by Monsanto. Admit it. Fix it. |
